LIFE
By Sophy Raiziss, 14-year-old pupil, Holmes Junior High School, Philadelphia.!
I am the opening glance of the sun, I draw the curtain of night,
I am the path of the traveler and his vision's gladdening light;
I am the crest of Eteranl Hope and the darkest depth of Despair,
The bitter and sweet of Temptation's cup, I am the rebel's dare.
1 am the smooth and smiling surface of the cruel, deceiving sea,
And yet the mystic secret of the deep, an ancient, hidden key.
I am the heart of the gentle bud and the scent of the full-blown rose ;
The innocence of childhood's joys and Nature's sweet repose.
I am the burning glare of fire and then its smouldering hush
The dignity of towering trees, the crystal fountain's gush.
I am the still and lifeless brush, the artist's burning desire
And then the well-perfected painting to which he did aspire.
I am the selfish, thoughtless deed, the pang of sharp remorse.
The soothing healing touch of pardon ; the will of Nature's force.
I am the last dim gleam of moon and stars, in pensive wakening sky
And the faint and fleeting breath on night's dark, drooping wings to die.

From Los Angeles Herald
Jules Verne wrote "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea,"
and Roy Norton wrote "The Vanishing Fleets, but "neither of these
highly imaginative writers had any idea that their improbable tales
would be interwoven by actuality into an ocean mystery which is ex
citing the entire world and causing the United States government to
use warships and airplanes in searching for a modern pirate.
Yet such is the truth. For more than twenty vessels have vanish
ed off the Virginia and Carolina coast and the maritime world is
torn between the theory of a strange sequence of coincident ocean
tragedies and the idea that wholesale loot and murder is being car
ried on. The only actual trace of any of these ships is a message in
a bottle which said that one of them had been "overhauled by an oil
burning raider and the crew was being put m irons."
When Max Pemberton wrote "The Iron Pirate" he pictured a
modern warship, burning oil or gas, which could outsteam any vessel
then afloat. With Captain Black at her helm she ravaged the ship
ping lanes and left a swirl of bloody waters in'her wake. Pember
ton 's story caused international comment and brought about marked
changes in the methods of handling sea shipments of gold and cur
rency. Jules Verne's yarn was treated as a fantastic and chimerical ex
aggeration for years, but the World war brought about the actual
happening of nearly everything he wrote.
Roy Norton had a Japanese war fleet disappear from off the
face of the waters, lifted into the sky by niagie magnets. This has
not yet come true, but not even the wise heads of Uncle Sam's great
navy department have thus far been able to explane what has be
come of the twenty vessels which disappeared from the Virginia and
Carolina shores.
Pirates, wreckers, Bolshevists, mutineers, submarines, power
boats or "oil burning chasers" whatever .has caused this new mys
tery of the. "vanishing fleets," this strange development of modern
fact has served once again to demonstrate the time-worn and age-old
adage that "truth is stranger than fiction."
NOBODY KNOWS
From Philadelphia Public Ledger
In Washington nobody knows just what the inner circles of the
administration are doing about the li.ee greatest of our foreign prob
lems. There is silence, a silence that may mean anything or nothing.
This is June 20th. The Harding administration came into power
on March 4th. More than a hundred days have come and gone since.
We are- in the fourth month of a new administration pledged to ac
tion on peace, the limitation of armament and a world association of
nations. .
What has been done- Just what are the accomplishments in
these pledged matters?
The house and senate are having a tug-of-war over the form and
scope of a "declaratory peace resolution." The White House, to all
appearances, is untroubled over the deadlock.
The Allies and Germany have cleared up the matter of repara
tions. Things have moved in Europe. The Allies wait upon us to
make known our desires on many questions growing out of the treat
ies. But no whisper comes from the White House or the department
of state as to plans, policies, hopes or fears in regard to making peace
treaties with what is left of the Central empires.
The senate has "authorized" the president to call a conference
on the limitation of naval armaments. In unmistakable ways the
people of the nation has "authorized" the president to call such a
conference.
We are willing, even anxious, so is England. Japan will come in.
Italy and France, war-burdened, tax-ridden, will welcome the move.
To all outward seeming no move toward a conference for armament
limitation has been made.
The world finally achieved a League of Nations? Imperfect or
not, it was achieved. We decided to stay outside. We come now urg
ing a different kind of league or association. The representatives of
forty-eight nations have expressed themselves as willing to modify
the league to meet our wishes. This has been announced in many
ways on several occasions. . .
Now and again the administration refers to the "world associa
tion" that is to take the place of the league. But nothing is done
about it! The Harding substitute for the league may be moving,
but it is moving with the slowness of a glacier. No eye can see the
signs of movement.
The foreign policies of the Harding administration retain their
wrappings of uncertainty and their mists of vagueness. There is a
wall of silence around them. Cryptic utterances are the rule. The
oracle when it speaks, speaks as did the Oracle of Delphi.
The passwords are two: "Wait" and "hush." But what of
peace! Of the limitations of armament? Of he association of na
tions? Outside of the inner circle nobody knows.
Is it possible the administraton itself does not know. That it has
not made up its mind? .
A magazine story says the costume of an East Indian woman
consists of a single piece of cheese cloth eight yards long. After look
ing around among our own fair damsels we wonder what on earth
does she do with the other seven yards. Iliff (Colo.) Independent
While the folks in many cities are preparing to set their clocks
ahead to save daylight, some men are said to be going to set theirs
back so as to get in more moonshine. Kiowa (Colo.) Divide Review.

A Fund of Information
That You Should Have
& -
Disraeli, who for six years was prime minister of England, said :
"It has been my observation that the most successful man in any
undertaking, is the man who has the most information."
It doesn't require any particular information just to go out and
buy something. But to buy the best of that something at a price that
is satisfactory to you that is a successful purchase. And to make
successful purchases you must have information.
Advertising gives you just that kind of information. It tells
you where to go in order to get the best of anything you want at a
fair price.
That is why it is a paying proposition for the man or woman who
handles a pocket book to study the advertisements in this newspaper
regularly every day.
To those who nse it properly, newspaper advertising is a source
of economy and satisfaction that never runs dry. It is a watch-dog
of dollars a guarantee of satisfaction.
If you would learn the facts about the things you need to make
you comfortable and happy

Hooray! Japan has allowed the United States to put a weather j
observation station on the island of Yap. We've been just dying to
know what kind of weather they're having in Yap. Brattleboro

WALKER LAKE HIGHWAY
IN GOOD CONDITION
The report that h highway fitjin
Yerington to Hawthorne is in poor con
dition is denied by parties traveling
this new route to xhe southern end of
the state.
On the contrary, the road is in ex
cellent condition and the Mineral coun
ty commissioners are repairing the
leads to the grade about Walker lake.
This new grade, eleven miles, which
skirts Walker lake, is one of the finest,
if not the best, piece of engineering un
dertaken by the. highway department
since it commenced operations in Ne
vada. Anyone making the trip from this
section to Tonopah will find the road
in good condition and. h will be better
every day as the work of finishing is
going along steadily.
From a scenic standpoint, it is doubt
ful if there is another highway in Ne
vada that surpasses this new piece of
highway.
It is the new gateway to Nye and
Esmeralda counties and while it is in
Mineral county it opens up travel from
here to the Colorado river with almost
a high gear road between the north and
south of Nevada.
